Finally, I shot a landscape image that I'm actually happy with!
If you've been watching this channel for a while, you'll know about my personal battle with landscape photography - I love doing it, but I am almost never happy with the results. Welp, I finally did it. I got an image which I'm genuinely proud of. Worthy of printing and worthy of even framing perhaps! Do you agree?
I was using the Stenpeika Air Force 4x5 for this shoot, along with my 65mm Nikkor SW lens, and then the shot that I love was taken with a Busch Rapid Aplanat No. 2. Not too sure of the focal length, it doesn't say it on it, but it's f8 at its widest, and looks to be about 8.5 inch or so. A glorious lens... I'm looking forward to trying out some portraits with this one.
And then the end of the video... where I smashed my beautiful camera. I was walking with it on the tripod, the tripod over my shoulder, not horizontal or anywhere near it, but at a slight angle. And my ball head gave way, the camera fell and hit the ground. Total devastated. Camera smashed to bits.
Since making this vid I have actually managed, with the help of the amazing Samuele from Stenopeika, to completely repair the camera. It's back up and running, and ready to come out with me again. I'm so relieved.
Right, on to the next SA vid, which will be coming soon. Will be a 120 vid, not sure which one yet, you'll have to wait and see!
